Oh, and there are actually versions of GC that reference-count objects 
that have external resources in them, and clean them up promptly if you 
don't let the reference escape the scope they're in.  (Actually, isn't 
Java doing this sort of thing now somewhere?)

Looking at Java's GC and concluding that GC sucks is like looking at 
notepad and concluding that text processors suck.
